The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug: Production Diary 13

December 5, 2013 - By Liam Goodwin

Peter Jackson has released a new video blog for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. It’s shorter than some of the previous ones, but we get to see a Hobbit and a few Dwarves playing table tennis, shooting in Smaug’s lair, and pick-up shots Lake-town.

Watch the video blog below:

The second in a trilogy of films adapting “The Hobbit,” by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug continues the adventure of the title character Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Evangeline Lilly, Benedict Cumberbatch, Luke Evans and Stephen Fry are among the cast.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will be released December 2013 in the UK, US and Canda, followed by The Hobbit: There and Back Again December 2014.
